You know it is really hard to see people complaining about Adam dropping songs, the set being shorter etc when some of us aren't lucky enough to see a show at all on this tour. :( Yeah that sister! Maybe we'll get a fall series this way cometh. Luck...is getting a show in your country....within a day's driving distance. Luck is getting a full show rather than a truncated one. I wish I knew the criteria for getting a show as country size or ease of getting there certainly is not it. I confess worrying about his voice this round of shows...it is the first time I have noticed him avoiding notes etc to this degree...yes when ill or after 3 or more shows in a row...but not this much. I would really think it would be wiser to give yourself an intermission...why not? Ideally the break between opener and show could shrink just a little, then a good 15minute break would be really valuable for the band and for Adam. It seems to me that one untried way to make this work [untried to my knowledge which does not make it so, of course] would be to invite a local performer in each venue to come up and perform a couple of songs...not groups that need their instruments but individuals with a backing tape to just use the resources there....it can't be that difficult can it? What an awesome opportunity in each community...every community has its own local entertainers that would kill for the chance. Audiences can use the time to support local, go to the loo, get a drink...visit...whatever their preference...Adam gets a break...seems like a win win. It does not need to be an onerous thing...can be as simple or complex as people make it...Pay for performer would be relatively small consistent amount as the big draw is the exposure. Not to mention the locals that would come and see the show to support their local....

But he did the Asia / New zealand /Australia tour wih his long setlist and he started out with this setlist. And he has such a trained voice, i hardly can believe he can't pull this off (when he is fitt). From one concert to another chtting six songs...no that is not logical That was my point. Needs to conserve because he is not 100% Oops, didn't get that. sorry!,

Terrance doesn't mention Adam . Wonder if he'll go or if he has something else to do today. He says he is going with Holly and Celina Nightingale. So no Adam

Considering what I paid for tickets, 1 hour is just not enough!!!!!!

He's either down physically, mentally or emotionally and I don't like any of those options

I wish he would just tell us if that is the. Cause we would all quit whining and send all the good vibes we could muster. Instead of wallowing at our own little pity parties!!
Sorry for being so sorry for myself!

Just based on having seen a show recently:
a) The show did not feel short. Yes, I would have preferred TISI, Running, etc. to NCOE, but it felt like a complete show. Adam's shows are always such an intense listening experience that time flies. But that is different from perceiving it as too short. Just my opinion.
b) Adam's voice always is 1000 times better than everyone else around, so what I am saying here, is only relative to other Adam concerts, not to anyone else out there in the field. But Adam did sound vocally a bit worn out to me, when it came to the high notes. He avoided jumping up to a high note, and diverted each time to starting low and pulling the voice up and then belting it out. Once he had comfortably settled on the high note, he held it for long time for maximum effect. I was sitting there and thought, wow, if you right now had to do that jump to a high D, that Adam tends to do in WWTLF, you'd try to avoid it. It does not sound like there is something wrong with his voice, just that it could use a rest, and obviously, is not going to get one any time soon. He has 6 concerts left, before he gets the one week break for his brother's wedding, and who knows whether he sings there, and also, a wedding is a time to socialize and talk, of course. After that, it is right back to completing the US tour, and who knows, where the idol slot fits in there.
I also anticipate that Adam has a media day, while in NY right now, so he may not get the vocal rest today that we assume he is getting today, even though, I have not heard about any interviews, yet. Bottom-line, I think he is prudent and a bit more conservative with the vocals right now. He needs to make it all the way through to fall, including the demanding Queen concert schedule. So, while I would love to hear the songs live, rather than on youtube, I have to say, I rather want him to take care of his voice, to make it through this demanding schedule. Thankfully, I live in a time, where youtube allows me to hear so much more, than my one specific concert ticket bought me, and I am very thankful for that.

Sorry for being so sorry for myself! With that big whopping insurance policy on his voice, I don't blaming him for keeping it hush if it is, in fact his voice. Don't want them yanking the policy or increasing his premiums
